Starting Your Business

This book is an excellent tool to help you gauge if you are ready to start a successful business. I use the word successful because this book helps you bring this out in yourself. This is not a book about what to do when you run out of options. T This book describes the foundational elements necessary to start a successful business. It is fertile material for anyone who has a dream to start a business. It is a no nonsense approach to the steps that you absolutely must take before you turn on the "Open" sign. Mr. Drakeford has taken the bold step to lay his soul bare and share the steps and missteps that he has taken. I applaud his contribution to the global discourse and wish you the best. -Marcus Tyrance, M.S.M. Senior Business Director Union Pacific Railroad
